Darwin Nunez swore to give everything as a Liverpool player until his last day after Arne Slot criticized his reaction to a blatant Miss in 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
The Reds wasted the opportunity to open a lead of ten points against Arsenal at the head of the Premier League table and not to win for the third time in the last four games.
Nunez had a great chance of winning the game for Liverpool, but fired the ball over the crossbar, whereby the gate was gaped when Axel lowered the cover through Axel. But it was not the Miss itself with which slot had problems, but the reaction and behavior of the Uruguayan after making the mistake.
“It is more in the 20 minutes after that I want to speak to him. [rather] When he missed a chance, “said Slot, suggesting that his striker had taken a step back from the basics.” I think the most important message is that you can miss a chance, but you cannot miss the work rate. For me, this is a more important message that I tell him because it is the life of the striker.
“He knows. He is 25, he will probably have missed a few chances in his career and would probably have achieved a few. Of course we would like to see it differently, but it is part of the work of a No. 9, part of your life that you sometimes miss where people expect you to score.
“But it is not part of the work of a No. 9, then the work rate to slow down, and we will talk about that.”

After the comments of his manager, Nunez, who was associated with a change to the Saudi Pro League, went to social media and emphasized that he would never give up as long as he stayed in Angeld.
“I wasn’t the best three weeks ago and I’m not the worst now. If I have fall, I get up. You will never see me give up,” wrote the 25-year-old.
“I will give everything until the last day I am here in Liverpool. Resilience!”
Slot continued that he “accepted” every Miss “from Nunez”, who scored a handful of important goals this season, two of the bank in a significant victory in Brentford- but no decline in the application.
“It is an opportunity and not 100 percent that it goes into,” continued the Dutch. “What is more difficult for me is his behavior of the chance. It has too much in his head, he was not the usual Darwin who worked out his ass and ensured that he helps the team. it missed. “
